Product overview

Delivery

The Vigor 2830 series is DrayTek's flagship premium ADSL router/firewall family with support for professional features such as VLAN tagging and Gigabit Ethernet. Compatible with all variants of ADSL (including ADSLMax, ADSL2+ and Annex M) the Vigor 2830 can be used for cable-modem and leased line applications using its additional gigabit ethernet WAN port. A four port Gigabit switch on the LAN side provides high speed connectivity for your server or other local PCs, for the highest speed local data transfer. Security features include content filtering, web application controls and object based firewall management system.

Robust & Comprehensive Firewall

Security is always taken seriously with DrayTek routers. The firewall protects against attacks including DoS (Denial of Service) attacks, IP-based attacks and access by unauthorised remote systems. Wireless, Ethernet and VPN are also protected by various protection systems. The latest ('Version 3') DrayTek object-based firewall allows even more setup flexibility than ever, enabling you to create combinations of users, rules and restrictions to suit multi-departmental organisations. The Vigor 2830 now also allows selective direction firewall rules of LAN to WAN, WAN to LAN or LAN to VPN. In addition, QoS (Quality of Service Assurance) can now be selectively applied to specific users.

IPv6 - Next Generation Internet Routing

The Vigor 2830 now supports IPv6 - the successor to the current IPv4 addressing system that has been used since the Internet was first created. IPv4 address space is full up and IPv6 allows for much more efficient routing and a larger address space. IPv6 is supported both from your own ISP, but if your ISP does not (yet) support IPv6, the Vigor 2850 also supports IPv6 broker/tunnel services to provide IPv6 access using either TSPC or AICCU via 3rd party IPv6 providers. To learn all about IPv6, you can get our book here.

IPv6 on the Vigor 2830 provides the following features:

IPv6 support DrayTek Vigor 2830

Operation on any one of the WAN ports (WAN1 ADSL, WAN2 Ethernet or 3G)

Connectivity to direct native IPv6 ISPs

Built-in tunnelling to 3rd party IPv6 brokers

supporting TSPC or AICCU methods

Default stateful firewall for all IPv6 LAN Clients/Devices

DHCPv6 Client or Static IPv6 Client

DHCPv6 & RADVD for client configuration

IP Filtering Rules

QoS for IPv6 with DiffServ

Router Management over IPv6 (Telnet/HTTP) with IPv6 Access List

Simultaneous (concurrent) operation with IPv4 ("Dual-Stack")

Other router features are available on IPv4 only currently

Web Content Filtering

The Content control features of the Vigor 2830 allow you to set restrictions on web site access, blocking download of certain file or data types, blocking specific web sites with whitelists or blacklists, blocking IM/P2P applications or other potentially harmful or wasteful content. Restrictions can be per user, per PC or univeral. Using DrayTek's GlobalView service, you can block whole categories of web sites (e.g. gambling, adult sites etc.), subject to an annual subscription to the Globalview service, which is continuously updated with new or changed site categorisations or sites which have become compromised (such as infected with Malware). A free 30-day trial is included with your new router.

Solid product with good functionality. We have the 3G failover WAN with a 'three' dongle. Technically support are knowledgable and helpful, we got the rules we wanted and load balancing setup with them in 10mins.

The antenna are on the opposite side to the LAN ports. The box really wants to stand upright. Fine if you hang it on a wall. But if you do so, how are you ever gonna see the diagnostics LEDs? Granted, they aren't essential but it would still be nice if one could actually see them.

This is no "easy" box to configure. Given the impressive feature list, I do not mind this at all. What I mind is the poor English in many places, the manual included. Besides the manual, be sure to read the FAQs on Draytek's site (better English).
